Farmer's Market

Today we went to the Salt Pond Farmer's Market. It takes place every Saturday morning. We were told to get there early because things tend to sell out before it ends. We weren't sure we would make it there at all. It is quite windy again and we didn't know if Chuggernaut would make it against the chop. She did quite well and we didn't even get very wet.
The market, although small, was quite nice. A smiling couple approached us as we were walking into the parking lot and asked if we were on one of the boats in the harbor. We said we were and introduced ourselves. The couple took us under their wings and introduced us to a few others. We bought bread, beautiful straw placemats, handmade cards and hot sauce. The sweet rolls had already sold out, darn! We gained some local knowledge and learned that the bay is deeper than marked and we could safely anchor our boat closer to shore (and we did). We were also told about a little lagoon where we might be able to secure our dinghy when we go ashore. On our dinghy ride back we met Mike on the sailboat near us and a young couple who had just pulled into the harbor. We really like this island and the friendly, helpful people here.
